“Have you found joy in your life? Has your life brought joy to others?”
These are the two famous questions that the ancient Egyptians believed that one is asked upon death, the answers of which determine your entry into heaven.
I’m not sure if I believe in God, heaven or hell. I do like to believe that “What goes around, comes around” or “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” – perhaps some type of Karma? I’m not sure! But whatever the reason, I have decided to make my own miniature bucket list and blog about it as when things happen.
Here is a list of 30 things to do before I reach the blessed age of 30:
| 6. Find my soul mate <3 | |
| 7. See the Taj Mahal | 8. Write a book |
| 9. Sing a song live and get a round of applause | 10. Do something totally selfless for a perfect stranger |
| 11. Earn more than 30k per year | |
| 13. Learn an awesome guitar riff | |
| 15. Give up smoking for good | 16. Audition for a play |
| 17. Have more than £1,000 in savings with no debt | 18. Move into my own place |
| 19. Paint a picture worthy of hanging on the wall | 20. Get married to the love of my life |
| 21. Run a 10k race | 22. Ride a motorbike |
| 23. Become fluent in French | 24. Begin to Learn Spanish |
| 26. Do a piece of graffiti | |
| 27. Go one whole year without taking a sick day | 28. Take the one I love for a surprise weekend away |
| 29. Maintain a weight of 8st (112lbs) | 30. Get drunk in 10 different countries |
So what do you guys think, is this achievable?
